Most recently Richard Rodgcrs and Oscar Hammerstein II based their record-breaking musical "My Fair Lady" on Shaw's play, with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison in the leading roles. Shaw derived the title of "Pygmalion" from the Latin poet, Ovid, whose Pygmalion created a beautiful statue, Galatea, and then fell in love with it. Shaw's Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, an arrogant professor of phonetics who attempts, on a wager, to make a fine lady of an ignorant flower girl.

The Board of Education School District 549C makes this frank policy statement in reference to consolidation. "The interest of the Board is two fold: (1) the continuance of Ihe bast possible educational ficilities for the children entrusted to our care, and (2) providing patrons end taxpayers of the School District with all pertinent Information, so that at all times they may be well informed regarding their schools." it has always been the policy of School District S49C to provide equal educational opportunities for AU of its children. All elementary and secondary schools within the system use the sams curriculum, are equipped In similar fashion, and have access to the same materials and consultant service. All teachers follow a standardised course of study and instructional pattern. This poliey has brought to schools in this district national recognition for excellence.

"Should the Phoenix District desire to consolidate this may prove to be a desirable arrangement. Some who look at the development of the Medford area say that it is inevitable that eventually Phoe nix and Medford will be part of the same municipality. In this event, it would be highly desirable for the two systems to be merged." ' II all VOTE HY1S M CQWSOLUfflftTOM j BRMtBlnRnBtBBBKiKKnKBEKtnBBKinniEtBKEE J.11)saJaaasalsss M II!
